As someone whose professional life involves delving into the personal stories associated with homelessness and family violence, it may or may not be ironic how often I end up thinking to myself: "thank heaven for the gift of the law of chastity
That's pretty unprofessional. Imagine you're seeing a psychologist and the whole time the psychologist recites as rote what the textbooks say, while really believing all your problems are due to chastity and WoW.
Timely and wise counsel, desperately needed in an age that has gone beyond permissive to prescriptive of promiscuity.
All ages have had prescriptions of promiscuity, it's just that the prescriptions are reserved for the male leaders, such as Joseph Smith.
If the sexual abuse of children was really a moral outrage to you rather than another cudgel against faith you would be a harsh critic of public schooling.
Public school admins don't threaten teachers with flaming swords to abuse their students.
"Chris" is an anti-vaxxer, he has no room to talk about caring for children or anyone but himself.
Gods ultimate gift is eternal increase. Not just immorality. Sex pathologizes this gift. Procreation exalts it
"Eternal progression" is a sex-crazed male's invention that justifies endless unprotected sex, as the resulting offspring can be fitted into an empire with infinite resources to care for them.
I’ve been amazed to see those that have totally disregarded the law of chastity and the results that eventually occur
Such as founding a church that goes worldwide and has more money than pretty much any other church?
Typically, those that think that sex is just recreation and solely for pleasure, also feel that the unwanted fetus is just a parasite to be gotten rid of
I'd think a minister who has an affair and ends up with an "unwanted fetus" might also wonder about getting rid of it.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.
